They wrote initially about their own lives, growing up at the height of The Troubles in Belfast, in songs like "Suspect Device" and "Wasted Life".

Can you just expand on his importance to you? On 18 January 2006, Foxton left the band. [ citation needed] Current lineup. Left to right: guitarist Ian McCallum, drummer Steve Grantley, frontman Jake Burns, and bassist Ali McMordie. I've always considered it typically and quaintly British that sectarian divides, knee-cappings, masked men breaking down doors and shotgunning fathers in front of their children and the mass slaughter of innocent and guilty alike by random bombing can be termed "troubles". But, when Inflammable Material was first released, Northern Ireland had apparently been having a spot of trouble for years! Even in music, bands from the province always seemed to steer well clear of any mention of the violence and bloodshed as though it was just how life was and nothing could be done about it. So, when Stiff Little Fingers released Inflammable Material, there was something almost seditious about the flagrant, brutal, stark manner in which the bitter conflict was brought to the fore. The music and lyrics are explosive, angry and passionate and Jake Burns stinging, venomous vocal perfectly compliments the mood. The end song of many songs on side 1; 8 in all is a thought provoking discharge of dropping out of society. The troubles are too much for one to bear so what can one do? Powerful guitar punchy chord shapes emphasis from despair to where! This guy is leader if i can breakaway so can you! Nihilism is the word, if you can win you win if you loose you loose. He dont care if he is on the dole or not, no worries because life in the Irish province is really very worrying indeed.

He asked the group to look at some lyrics he had drafted. They liked the lyrics and " Suspect Device" became a fixture in their live set. Around the same time as putting a tune to the "Suspect Device" lyrics, Burns wrote "Wasted Life".

Despite some critics who had said "Nobody would be interested in coming to see you" the band had a successful tour including Germany with shows selling out night after night. The band changed their plan of it just being a temporary re-union and decided it was to be permanent. The only song to be delivered by the Rythmn Guitarist Henry Cluney. More of the same fodder in an undemocratic land that resembles more of a timearchy with the gun and the bullet being the decisive factor of settling the argument from the spoils of civil war. Training to fight for freedom or to fight for occupation whatever way the hopeless youth wants no more of that, it is as simple as that to say but difficult to implement with peace. All the youth are saying is give peace a chance.
